The project is focused on an area of peatland called Fannyside Muir, 3km from Cumbernauld. The project is managed by Buglife Scotland in partnership with landowners Forest Enterprise Scotland (FES), North Lanarkshire Council (NLC), Scottish Wildlife Trust (SWT) and additional stakeholders Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB), Cumbernauld Living Landscape (CLL) and Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH). The production of a Management Plan and the work associated with the restoration of bog habitats at Fannyside Muir has been funded by WREN grant BAF14 - ‘The Slamannan Bog Restoration Project’ and through contributions of the European Union to the EcoCo LIFE+ project LIFE13 BIO / UK / 000428 ‘Implementation of integrated habitat networks to improve ecological coherence across the CSGN’. This work was supported by SNH as part of the Peatland Action project and contributes to Scotland’s National Peatland Plan and North Lanarkshire Council’s Bog Action Plan. Progress in the second year of the project is summarised below: A Habitat Regulations Assessment (HRA) of proposed works in newly identified areas in 2016 was carried out by SNH based on the original management plan and work plans provided by Buglife. Two phases of restoration work (Phase 2 & Phase 3) were carried out during 2016: Phase 2 was carried out by Openspace (Cumbria) Ltd, and took place between 21st March and 6th May. Phase 3 was carried out by Conservefor Ltd and took place between 16th August and 15th September. The contracts for both phases were awarded following a public tendering process (Public Contracts Scotland website). The deadline for completion of all works this year was 20th September, which is the earliest date that wintering Taiga bean geese have returned to the Slamannan Plateau. During 2016, 3230 peat dams and 46 reinforced plastic piling dams were installed across ~119 ha of the site to raise and stabilise ground water levels on the bog. 26 hectares of cell-bunds were installed to raise ground water levels and retain surface water. 170 m of steep-sided gully was reprofiled to slow water movement across the site 8 ha of birch scrub was cleared and stump-treated, and 29.5 ha of regenerating lodgepole pine were removed. Volunteer work parties cleared over 23 ha of the conifers (under 2m tall), while contractors cleared an additional 6.5 ha of dense conifer regeneration and approximately 45 larger trees.. Monitoring of the site included monthly hydrological monitoring of 32 dipwells across the site, checking 7 fixed vegetation monitoring quadrats, 32 mini vegetation quadrats, protected species surveys,nesting bird surveys, moth trapping, butterfly timed counts, aquatic invertebrate surveys and other invertebrate surveys. Over 430 peat depth readings were measured across the site and surrounding peat deposits. The deepest reading within the project site was 915cm, while a reading of 930cm was recorded just outside the project area. Fixed point photography and aerial photographs and video of the site were taken. A grass fire in April 2016 damaged approx.12 ha of Compartment 11 (area with goose roost pools), however surrounding re-wetted areas were unaffected. A total of 717 species have been recorded on the site since the start of the project. 2 1. Introduction This report summarises the second year of progress in delivering the aims of the Fannyside Muir Bog Restoration Project Management Plan through a set of agreed and prioritised objectives and prescriptions. MANAGEMENT AIM To restore bog activity across Fannyside Muir and improve ecological coherence of Fannyside Muir with the wider Slamannan Plateau. The long term aims are to: 1. Restore bogs in the Fannyside Muir area 2. Secure the favourable management of lowland raised bogs for wildlife 3. Support the delivery of the North Lanarkshire LBAP and Scottish Biodiversity Strategy 4. Protect and if possible enhance habitat for the Slamannan Plateau SSSI & SPA designated features 5. Enhance ecological coherence of Fannyside Muir with the wider Slamannan Plateau 6. Build knowledge of all biological taxa at the site 7. Raise public awareness of the importance of peatlands The production and implementation of the site management plan is a partnership between Buglife Scotland (BS), Forest Enterprise Scotland (FES), North Lanarkshire Council (NLC), Scottish Wildlife Trust (SWT), Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) and Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH). The management plan and work associated with the restoration of bog habitats at Fannyside Muir has been funded by WREN grant BAF14 - ‘The Slamannan Bog Restoration Project’ and through contributions of the European Union to EcoCo LIFE+ project LIFE13 BIO / UK / 000428 ‘Implementation of integrated habitat networks to improve ecological coherence across the CSGN’. This work is supported by SNH as part of the Peatland Action project and contributes to Scotland’s National Peatland Plan and North Lanarkshire Council’s Bog Action Plan. 3 2. Background There has been a dramatic decline in the area of lowland raised bogs in the past 200 years. In Scotland, it is estimated that the original 28,000 hectares (ha) of raised bog habitat has now diminished to under 5,600 ha - a loss of 80% (EC Habitats Directive Annex 1 Habitats from UK 2013 reporting. http://jncc.defra.gov.uk/page-6392.). Most of the remaining raised bog habitat in Scotland is located within the Central Belt and is threatened by detrimental land management activities. Historically the greatest decline has occurred through agricultural intensification (drainage), afforestation and commercial peat extraction. Future declines are likely to be the result of the gradual desiccation of bogs which are hydrologically fragmented from each other and damaged by previous attempts at drainage. Scotland’s peatlands and raised bogs are internationally important habitats for wildlife and plants including moorland birds, insectivorous sundews (Drosera sp.) and invertebrates such as the Large heath butterfly (Coenonympha tullia), a bog–specialist that has suffered population declines across Europe, due to loss of bog habitat. Peat soils in Scotland contain almost 25 times as much carbon as all other soils in the UK. The carbon stored in Scotland's soils (notably peat and peaty soil) is equivalent to over 180 years of greenhouse gas emissions from Scotland at current emission rates. Healthy peatlands keep carbon locked up, and continue to absorb more carbon. Degraded bogs emit carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gasses, which contribute to climate change. Restoring peat-forming habitat that has previously been damaged ensures that the bog remains as a long-term carbon sink and significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions. Raised bogs also help maintain the quality of water by absorbing atmospheric pollutants and retaining carbon, which can significantly pollute streams downstream of degraded bogs. Healthy bogs function as sponges, regulating and slowing the movement of rain water which helps to prevent flooding. Fannyside Muir Fannyside Muir lies approximately three kilometres east of the town of Cumbernauld in North Lanarkshire. The project site lies just north-east of Palacerigg Country Park and north of Fannyside Loch. (See Map 1). Fannyside Muir comprises of a mix of peatland habitat types, including blanket bog, lowland raised bog and intermediate bog types. The area has been subject to historic, wide-ranging, adverse management including drainage to facilitate commercial peat extraction and afforestation. A significant proportion of the restoration project site is within the boundaries of the Slamannan Plateau Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and Special Protection Area (SPA). These areas were designated for the nationally important population of Taiga bean geese (Anser fabalis fabalis) which visit the Slamannan Plateau in winter. The project site falls within the Cumbernauld Living Landscape boundary, which is a landscape scale conservation programme lead by the Scottish Wildlife Trust, North Lanarkshire Council, and Forestry Commission Scotland. This project is needed to restore areas of the designated site to improve the overall peatland functioning and coherence of the plateau area. This project builds on bog restoration work previously undertaken by North Lanarkshire Council on a small area of Fannyside Muir that established the restoration potential of bogs in this area. 4 3. Progress with Management Objectives and Prescriptions in Year 2 The Fannyside Muir Bog Restoration Project Management Plan describes a set of objectives and prescriptions required to achieve the overall management

A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Biological Sciences University of Alaska Fairbanks August 2017 APPROVED: Pat Doak, Committee Chair Greg Breed, Committee Member Colleen Handel, Committee Member Christa Mulder, Committee Member Kris Hundertmark, Chair Department o f Biology and Wildlife Paul Layer, Dean College o f Natural Science and Mathematics Michael Castellini, Dean of the Graduate School ABSTRACT Across the Arctic, taller woody shrubs, particularly willow (Salix spp.), birch (Betula spp.), and alder (Alnus spp.), have been expanding rapidly onto tundra. Changes in vegetation structure can alter the physical habitat structure, thermal environment, and food available to arthropods, which play an important role in the structure and functioning of Arctic ecosystems. Not only do they provide key ecosystem services such as pollination and nutrient cycling, they are an essential food source for migratory birds. In this study I examined the relationships between the abundance, diversity, and community composition of arthropods and the height and cover of several shrub species across a tundra-shrub gradient in northwestern Alaska. To characterize nestling diet of common passerines that occupy this gradient, I used next-generation sequencing of fecal matter. Willow cover was strongly and consistently associated with abundance and biomass of arthropods and significant shifts in arthropod community composition and diversity.

  • Climate Change and Conservation of Orophilous Moths at the Southern Boundary of Their Range (Lepidoptera: Macroheterocera)
    Eur. J. Entomol. 106: 231–239, 2009 http://www.eje.cz/scripts/viewabstract.php?abstract=1447 ISSN 1210-5759 (print), 1802-8829 (online) On top of a Mediterranean Massif: Climate change and conservation of orophilous moths at the southern boundary of their range (Lepidoptera: Macroheterocera) STEFANO SCALERCIO CRA Centro di Ricerca per l’Olivicoltura e l’Industria Olearia, Contrada Li Rocchi-Vermicelli, I-87036 Rende, Italy; e-mail: [email protected] Key words. Biogeographic relict, extinction risk, global warming, species richness, sub-alpine prairies Abstract. During the last few decades the tree line has shifted upward on Mediterranean mountains. This has resulted in a decrease in the area of the sub-alpine prairie habitat and an increase in the threat to strictly orophilous moths that occur there. This also occurred on the Pollino Massif due to the increase in temperature and decrease in rainfall in Southern Italy. We found that a number of moths present in the alpine prairie at 2000 m appear to be absent from similar habitats at 1500–1700 m. Some of these species are thought to be at the lower latitude margin of their range. Among them, Pareulype berberata and Entephria flavicinctata are esti- mated to be the most threatened because their populations are isolated and seem to be small in size. The tops of these mountains are inhabited by specialized moth communities, which are strikingly different from those at lower altitudes on the same massif further south. The majority of the species recorded in the sub-alpine prairies studied occur most frequently and abundantly in the core area of the Pollino Massif.
